  • Industry certifications including CCNP, JNCIP, PCNSA , CISSP, or CCSP
  • A hands-on leadership approach, with the proven ability to engage directly with strategic accounts to secure technical wins
  • A deep understanding of complex, multi-year sales cycles and expertise in value-based storytelling
